i've been licking my screen all morning
this test REALLY works. it WILL NOT work unless you put your tongue on the screen.
"We've been licking our screen all afternoon and still can't figure out the insane new technologies behind the Barbarian Group's latest addition to the Milwaukee's Best Light microgames site. All we know is the T Scan 2000 Biometric Taste Analyzer knows us better than we know ourselves. Simply place your tongue on the screen and click the box to scan the science stuff in your mouth. It'll let you know if you have a man's taste and dispense the prescription: a cold beer. If it doesn't work the first time, fiddle with the settings a bit to adjust the Zone Recursivity or Moisture Threshold. If you've got a tough time keeping your tongue on the screen and finding the button to click, call a friend over. And for heavens sakes wipe the monitor before he or she has a turn."
UPDATE: With a collective group of people. we finally figured it out but still a good joke to play on friends.
mikekarnj (3:02:30 PM): its triggered for timed responses
mikekarnj (3:02:43 PM): bc if u cheat and dont put your tongue down, you tap scan
mikekarnj (3:02:50 PM): when u put your tongue on, you hold it down
mikekarnj (3:02:59 PM): so if you hold it down, it works every time after the first time
mikekarnj (3:03:04 PM): bc the first time, everyone cheats

Big Wheel Keep On Turning
San Francisco pretty much just kicks ass. After my Adult Easter Egg hunt a bunch of us walked the two blocks to the always tourist trappy Lombard Street where the 7th annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event was to take place. It's a bunch of silly ass adults wearing crazy costumes who bomb down the crazy crooked road. That's it. It isn't sanctioned. It stops up all traffic for about an hour (they do three runs) and is pretty insane- they get those little wheels rolling. The one cop that was there pretty much just asked people to move out of the way of the Trolley.
Here is a link to a rather long video of the event.

I had trouble getting my hands on a big wheel (they were understandably scarce in the week preceding). Just a WTF or maybe Why The Hell Not kind of thing that makes living here always interesting.
